New NHS inductees honored at BHS

Brush High School hosted a National Honor Society induction ceremony on Monday, November 26 where 24 new NHS members were honored and added to the school's list of 35 total NHS members.

Held at the BHS Auditorium, the ceremony included a welcome from NHS sponsor and BHS instructor Mary George with introductions provided by Principal Dave Vondy.

Honored speaker for the night, retired Beaver Valley instructor Gary Bloemker was on hand, providing moving words of wisdom for the students noting that, “With any honor comes a corresponding responsibility to others, community, society and to the world to live up to the trust and respect engendered within that honor.”

“Thank you for the honor of inviting me to this wonderful celebration of life and achievement,” noted Bloemker. “I feel so blessed to have had so many of you in school and have learned so much from you. May all of your lives be filled with peace, love, hope and joy. Never stop learning.”

Membership into the National Honor Society is based on a student's fulfillment of four criteria including scholarship, leadership, service and character, and requires students to have earned a 3.75 GPA through freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years.

New inductees honored that evening from BHS included seniors Meridith Brandenburg and Chelsee Bruggeling.
